Half Century of Occupation: Israel, Palestine, and the World's

Half Century of Occupation: Israel, Palestine, and the World's Most Intractable Conflict

The Israel-Palestine conflict is one of the worldâ€™s most polarizing confrontations. Its current phase, Israelâ€™s â€œtemporaryâ€ occupation of the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem, turned a half century old in June 2017. In these timely and provocative essays, Gershon Shafir asks three questionsâ€”What is the occupation, why has it lasted so long, and how has it transformed the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? His cogent answers illuminate how we got here, what here is, and where we are likely to go. Shafir expertly demonstrates that at its fiftieth year, the occupation is riven with paradoxes, legal inconsistencies, and conflicting interests that weaken the occupiersâ€™ hold and leave the occupation itself vulnerable to challenge.
